Chapter 74 She Committed Suicide

Even if all the other things could be explained, regarding this matter, no matter how many reasons Chi Jun'an had, Ji Xiaonuan just couldn't accept it.

Chi Jun'an suddenly smiled and let out a sigh of relief. "I'm actually really glad that I sent her home with the driver that day."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him blankly. "You... you mean..."

If it was Chi Jun'an and the driver who sent Yang Wanrong back, how could he have done anything to Yang Wanrong with the driver there?

"Ji Xiaonuan, I didn't touch her," Chi Jun'an said in a low voice. "I sent her back with the driver that day and left together with him. After that, I went directly to the airport, so there was no way I could have done anything to her."

"But, I saw..." Ji Xiaonuan looked at his white shirt, and her expression dimmed a bit inexplicably.

Chi Jun'an hadn't changed his clothes. He was still wearing the same shirt he had worn when he came back. There were still Yang Wanrong's tear stains on his shirt.

"What did you see?" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I went to the airport and saw you holding her," Ji Xiaonuan said sourly.

How could the relationship between a man who was willing to let a woman cry in his arms be just ordinary?

Chi Jun'an was stunned for a moment.

He finally understood why Ji Xiaonuan had such a deep misunderstanding of him that she even wanted to break up with him without asking anything.

There were just too many coincidences and misunderstandings, or rather, someone had deliberately guided and created all of this.

He stretched out his arm and gently held Ji Xiaonuan in his arms, feeling sorry for her.

Ji Xiaonuan, who had misunderstood him, must have been very sad at that time, right? When he was with her, it wasn't to make her go through all this.

"You've already hugged another woman. Don't hug me!" Ji Xiaonuan pushed him angrily.

"Xiaoxi, listen to me first," he explained in a low voice. "Yang Wanrong came to the airport to find me and said that I had slept with her that night and asked me to take responsibility for her. I didn't do it, so of course I wouldn't admit it. However, after the driver and I left that day, Yang Wanrong seemed to have really been... She couldn't accept the truth for a while, so she was crying. Since she had encountered such a thing, I couldn't just push her away."

"You mean that Yang Wanrong had that kind of relationship with someone else, but she thought that person was you?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him in shock.

No wonder Yang Wanrong had been so confident and proud when she told her about this. However, such a thing was just too coincidental...

"That's probably the case," Chi Jun'an nodded. His eyes became a bit deeper, and he asked gently, "Ji Xiaonuan, are you willing to believe me now?"

"Chi Jun'an, my mind is really messed up right now, and I don't know if I should believe you..." Ji Xiaonuan bit her lip lightly and looked at him blankly. "Let me go first. Didn't you say that you would let me go once the misunderstanding was cleared up?"

"If you don't believe me, can this be considered as the misunderstanding being cleared up?" Chi Jun'an frowned slightly. "Or, should I call the driver over and let him explain it to you?"

"...No need," she said in a low voice. "I'll believe you, then."

"Just 'then'?" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly and gently lifted her chin with his finger. "You either believe it or you don't. There's no such thing as 'just then'."

The next moment, his thin lips pressed against hers.

Ji Xiaonuan's eyes widened suddenly, and she instinctively tried to push him away, but he firmly held her wrist.

As if wanting to pour out all the yearning of the past few days, Chi Jun'an kissed her passionately.

"You..." After the lingering kiss ended, Ji Xiaonuan leaned against his chest, panting with a slightly resentful look.

"Ji Xiaonuan, did you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"My heart."

Ji Xiaonuan leaned against his chest, and in her ears, she could hear his steady heartbeat.

Her hand that had been gripping his shirt suddenly tightened a bit. Finally, Ji Xiaonuan made up her mind. "Chi Jun'an, I believe you." With the stone in her heart finally dropped, Chi Jun'an chuckled. "What about the gift?"

"What gift?" Ji Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment.

"The Christmas gift," he said in a low voice. "You must have prepared a Christmas gift for me, right?"

If not, why would Ji Xiaonuan have made a special trip to the airport to pick him up?

"There's no Christmas gift at all!" Ji Xiaonuan said awkwardly.

The chocolate that she had originally planned to give to Chi Jun'an had already been crushed out of shape by her and thrown into the trash can. How could she still give it to him?

However, since Chi Jun'an could even guess this, she could only play dumb.

"Is that so?" Chi Jun'an let go of her and turned to walk towards the trash can.

He took out the packaging box from the trash can and smiled faintly. "Is this it?"

"How did you know?" Ji Xiaonuan was dumbfounded.

Was Chi Jun'an too smart? She hadn't said anything at all!

"When I asked you just now, you kept looking in this direction. I guessed that you might have thrown the gift here," he explained with a faint smile.

Ji Xiaonuan was convinced.

"What's inside?" Chi Jun'an sat down on the chair and looked down at the crumpled box. The packaging box had been completely deformed by Ji Xiaonuan's squeezing. He let out a sigh and gently opened it.

"Forget it," Ji Xiaonuan said shyly and snatched the box away. "I was going to throw this away. I'll give you another one later."

"Later is for later, and now is for now," Chi Jun'an grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

The box in her hand was taken away by him again, and he opened the packaging box.

Chi Jun'an's eyes lit up. Ji Xiaonuan had given him chocolate.

Many of the chocolates in the box were crushed and completely unrecognizable in their original form. Looking at those crushed chocolates, Ji Xiaonuan suddenly felt a bit sad.

She had prepared for several days to make this box of chocolates that she was somewhat satisfied with.

But before she could give it to Chi Jun'an, she had crushed it herself.

Ji Xiaonuan said disappointedly, "Just throw it away. It's all ruined..."

The next moment, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide in shock.

Chi Jun'an calmly took out a piece of chocolate and put it into his mouth with a calm expression.

"It's delicious," he smiled faintly.

Ji Xiaonuan suddenly felt like crying. She whispered tremblingly, "They're so ugly. Aren't you disgusted?"

"Where are they ugly?" he said in a low voice. "This is your thoughtfulness, and I like it very much. Ji Xiaonuan, this is the best Christmas gift I've ever received."

A warmth filled her heart. Ji Xiaonuan leaned against his chest movedly. "Chi Jun'an, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you before."

"Xiaoxi, it's not your fault. Maybe we should deepen our relationship," he looked at her tenderly and kissed her again.

This kiss carried the fragrance of chocolate. Ji Xiaonuan dizzily wrapped her arms around his neck and passionately responded to him.

When the kiss finally ended, Chi Jun'an gently pressed his forehead against hers, and the two of them smiled at each other.

Suddenly, a harsh mobile phone ringtone sounded, and Chi Jun'an couldn't help but frown.

"Answer the phone quickly," Ji Xiaonuan reminded softly.

He pressed the answer button, and Chen Kainan's flustered voice came from the receiver. "Muchen, come quickly. Wanrong has committed suicide!"
